Can only an attorney request a court for documents from a landlord such as utility bills/payments?

My rent at a Non-profit organization rooming house/homeless shelter includes all utilities. Back in September, the electrictiy was shut off. After nearly four days being off, one of the tenants decided to call the electric company who was unaware it was a communal living situation (14 women and children) they thought it was a single family home. When they found out there were infants in the home, they turned it on that night but informed us a payment hadn’t been made in over a year. Roughly a week later the gas was turned off, we had no heat, no stove, no hot water, no laundry. After 3 days, I called and spoke to the Mgr. (who also said unaware many people living there) the gas was turned on that evening and yes, I was told no pymt has been made since April 2009.

I was later evicted without due process. There are dozens of other infractions that some of the tenants are pursing (some are criminal).
